    Toyota Features Hybrid Technology at the Kentucky State Fair

    GEORGETOWN, KENTUCKY, (August 19, 2005) — Hybrid technology is the focus at the Toyota booth during this year’s Kentucky State Fair August 18 – 28 at the Kentucky Fair & Exposition Center in Louisville. The Kentucky State Fair is the largest state-wide event in the state attracting more than 700,000 visitors.

    Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. (TMMK) is sponsoring an exhibit at the fair for the 16 th consecutive year. This past May, TMMK announced plans to produce a Camry hybrid, becoming Toyota’s first North America plant to assemble a Toyota Synergy Technology (Hybrid System) product. Although production of the Camry hybrid is not scheduled until late 2006, TMMK has a Highlander Hybrid Cut-Away model on display to demonstrate the hybrid technology. TMMK’s exhibit also features interactive displays, the Kentucky-built Solara convertible and the all-new Avalon sedan.

    “The State Fair is a great Kentucky tradition and gives our company an opportunity to educate and demonstrate Toyota’s impact in the state,” said Kim Menke, Manager of Community Relations at TMMK. “I think the state fair is an important event that also allows us to showcase our team members, many of whom will be on hand to meet the public.”

    TMMK is Toyota’s largest North American manufacturing facility with a production capacity of 500,000 vehicles and engines a year. The plant started operations in 1988 and employs about 7,000 Kentuckians.

    TMMK’s exhibit is located in the East Wing of the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center. More information about the fair is available at www.kystatefair.org.
